I don't understand exactly what you want to do, but here are the
basics- you can decide what you want to do.
1. Use `git reflog` to see a history of your operations.
2. If you want your working copy to switch to an existing commit, use
   `git checkout <SHA1 of commit>`.
3. If you want to irreversibly destroy everything and switch your
   working copy to a desired commit, use `git reset --hard <SHA1 of
   commit>`. Use with care!

... and:  0. In "emergency recovery situations", _back up your whole
source dir (including .git subdir) somewhere else before screwing
around_!

IMHO the very first step should be to run "git status" and see what it
says.  With that information it would be much easier to recommend
further steps.
